Autumn leaves aren’t the only things falling in the
historic Virginia village of Taylorsford—so are some
cherished memories, and a few bodies.

October in Taylorsford, Virginia means it’s leaf
peeping season, with bright colorful foliage and a
delightful fresh crew of tourists attending the annual
Heritage Festival which celebrates local history and arts
and crafts. Library director Amy Webber, though, is slightly
dreading having to spend two days running a yard sale
fundraiser for her library. But during these preparations,
when she and her assistant Sunny stumble across a dead body,
Amy finds a real reason to be worried.

The body belonged to a renowned artist who was murdered with
her own pallet knife. A search of the artist’s studio
uncovers a cache of forged paintings, and when the sheriff’s
chief deputy Brad Tucker realizes Amy is skilled in art
history research, she’s recruited to aid the investigation.
It doesn’t seem to be an easy task, but when the state’s art
expert uncovers a possible connection between Amy’s deceased
uncle and the murder case, Amy must champion her Aunt Lydia
to clear her late husband’s name.

That’s when another killing shakes the quiet town, and
danger sweeps in like an autumn wind. Now, with her
swoon-inducing neighbor Richard Muir, Amy must scour their
resources to once again close the books on murder in
Shelved Under Murder, the charming second installment
in Victoria Gilbert’s Blue Ridge Library mysteries, perfect
for fans of Jenn McKinlay and Miranda James.
